Co-Lab brings brilliant scientists and talented artists together.

Co-Lab: Science Meets Street Art brings together street artists and early career scientists to collaborate one-on-one and conceptualise artworks based on the scientists’ research and discoveries. The public is then invited watch as these artworks evolve throughout the event and read descriptions written by the scientists. The scientists involved are also on hand to answer your niggling questions as you take in the science-inspired street art.
